Abstract :
This paper presents the analysis of the lightning performance of transmission lines using a statistical approach. The main goal is to determine the flashover rate of a line. The study is based on the application of the ATP version of the EMTP and the development of a Monte Carlo based procedure. Parametric studies have been performed to determine the sensitivity of the flashover rate with respect some parameters of the transmission line and the return stroke.
